Not a restoration. Began 10 years ago as a static display, but when shifted to R/C it did not like the H20 too much, so it was shelved.
Now, in the interim, between beginning another scratch build, I will fiberglass the hull, and finish it out. It is fairly rough and showing its shelf drydock age.
All this as I ponder 52' MLB, or Iowa Class build.
Have a great time Shipmates.

Excellent! I built the Gear in 1/48th. I never did a Build blog, but I certainly have enough pictures to do so. If you need any plans, ect, I have a ton for the whole class. You are welcome to them.
What scale is your build?😊
I hope she likes a drop of water with her outings now. Do you mean an Iowa class battleship? I should live so long to complete one! But they do look good.

This one is 1/144 scale, but I do have a set of plans in 1/96 scale as well. Thanks for the offer of information. If you are interested in a trade, I have tons of plans: Every Battleship, except IOWA, yes, I am going for it. Two types aircraft carriers. Two types IJN Battleship (Yamato), Heavy Cruiser (1 type) Two types of American cruiser. How about an LST. Bismark, Richelieu, Littorio
1/48th scale you say? That is quite large.

As I do not wish to fiberglass the hull at work, I have turned to deck candy. Lucky for me a nineteen-year-old me was quite the shutterbug back in the day, I have quite a few pictures to work from.
